Chapter 1288 - 651: Betrayal
However, the cost was immense. Boss Kun heard a crackling sound from within the Silver Corpse’s body, likely from overexertion, causing its foot bones and ankle bones to fracture. After this battle, who knows how much kung fu would be needed for recovery?
Nevertheless, Fourth had no intention of retrieving the Silver Corpse after sending it out at this critical time. The ceiling here was only twenty-two meters high, yet this zombie surprisingly managed to catch Chi Wen off guard, leaping onto its cheek with a swoosh. It clawed its sharp black fingers into Chi Wen’s rough skin, climbing toward the eyes right under its nose.
Chi Wen was clearly startled, seeing this little thing jump onto its face instead of into its mouth, making it a bit displeased. Fourth had miscalculated, as Chi Wen’s mouth was simply too large. With a single long, thick sweep of its tongue, it swept the Silver Corpse into its mouth and began chewing.
Though both zombies’ bodies were refined to be impervious to blades and bullets, Chi Wen’s sharp teeth still overcame them. It chewed a couple of times, probably finding the texture far from pleasant, angrily exhaling two puffs of white air from its nose, and then looked toward the passageway.
It turned out Fourth had taken advantage of the moment when Chi Wen was dealing with the two zombies to dash toward the passageway. His plan was clear: once out of the stone room, the monster’s massive body would never be able to stop him again. In this critical moment, Boss Kun and Yuan Hou had long been forgotten.
Unfortunately, the withered taste of the zombies was too awful. Chi Wen, having eaten just one, set its sights on fresh blood food. Seeing Fourth dart onto the narrow path, disappearing into the passageway, it ignored the other Silver Corpse desperately attacking it, employing the same trick, blocking the passageway entrance with its large mouth, and inhaling forcefully.
People on the beach seemed to hear a long, tragic howl. Chi Wen chewed its mouth, and suddenly there was no sound. Knowing the remaining pieces of fresh meat wouldn’t escape, it withdrew from the passageway entrance, not in a hurry to eat, first dragging the remaining Silver Corpse from its body to chew and gnaw on. It then closed its eyes contentedly.
It was extremely hungry, never wasting anything that could enter its mouth.
Boss Kun stood there in shock, not knowing what to do, as one companion after another died, and Fourth had escaped into the passageway, only to be sucked back in and devoured by the monster. Would he share the same fate?
At this moment, Yuan Hou, standing behind him, whispered, "I’ll help you!" and Boss Kun felt a pair of large hands grab his waistband.
Filled with joy, he immediately understood that Yuan Hou intended to use his incredible arm strength to throw him directly into the passageway. Currently, the monster was still some distance from the passageway. Unlike Fourth, he was in his prime, and he could run much faster than the half-aging man. As long as his legs were agile, he had a good chance of escaping the stone room.
But Yuan Hou, staying behind, probably...
Boss Kun squeezed Yuan Hou’s hand and whispered, "Good brother, sorry for the trouble!"
Yuan Hou grinned, still smiling忠厚ly, "I’ll send you off, now hit the road!"
Boss Kun found his words too ominous, but knowing this foolish man couldn’t say anything nice, Yuan Hou had already grabbed his hundred-pound body like two straws, then swung him with force—
He was actually thrown straight towards Chi Wen!
Seeing the monster grow larger in his field of vision, Boss Kun’s heart shattered with fear.
How could he not realize he had been betrayed? He never imagined Yuan Hou would treat him this way. After all, he had risked his life to save Yuan Hou from a lonely tomb in the wilds years ago. These past ten years, he had been loyal and never made a mistake, a person to whom he could entrust his back.
Was it really to escape that he was being thrown out to divert Chi Wen’s attention?
Yuan Hou’s hand strength was immense, this throw making him fly towards Chi Wen like lightning and thunder. This giant monster hadn’t expected food to deliver itself, but having suffered with the previous Silver Corpse, it raised its big mouth high, waiting for him to throw himself into Death’s embrace.
This is where Boss Kun’s uncompromising character was revealed—knowing he couldn’t escape Death, he’d rather tear off a couple of pieces of flesh from the enemy! In that split-second, he reached into his arms and pulled out three small spheres radiating a silvery light. Each was the size of a baseball, shimmering with brilliance, appearing very unstable, as if they could explode at any moment. Anyone could see at a glance that they contained immense energy.
